This private Earth dam, standing at a height of 20 feet and with a length of 400 feet, has a storage capacity of 222 acre-feet and a surface area of 7.7 acres. With a drainage area of 3.41 square miles and a maximum discharge capacity of 2039 cubic feet per second, this sediment pond plays a crucial role in managing sediment runoff and maintaining water quality in the region.
Despite not being regulated or inspected by the state, Lb2-1 Sediment Pond poses a moderate risk (rated at 3) due to its uncontrolled spillway and lack of hazard potential assessment. While the dam's condition is not rated, it is vital for the authorities to ensure that the structure is properly maintained and monitored to prevent any potential risks of failure. Furthermore, with an uncontrolled outlet gate and no emergency action plan in place, there is a need for improved risk management measures to enhance the safety and security of the dam and surrounding areas.
In collaboration with the Fort Worth District of the US Army Corps of Engineers, efforts should be made to address the potential risks associated with Lb2-1 Sediment Pond and implement necessary safety protocols. By conducting regular inspections, updating emergency action plans, and improving risk assessment and management strategies, the sediment pond can continue to fulfill its primary purpose effectively while mitigating any potential hazards to the environment and nearby communities.
